Perhaps in addition to the generic "wallpaper search", a function could be added to further assist in locating images. Other sites already have this functionality, and if I'm not mistaken, the search, or "key" words are selected by the artists themselves.
Take, as an example, a search someone asked about recently. They were looking for shark wallpapers. Now let's say someone had one, but the word "shark" appeared in neither the title, not the description. Instead, they called it...oh, let's say "terror of the sea" and said, "wouldn't want to get this close again". A "wallpaper search would fly right by this image. A keyword search, where the artist included, say, "underwater", "shark", etc. would be a bit more specific.
I like to find out which images come from specific software, e.g. Xaos. It's possible to make that search that right now, and it's amazing what shows up - but not everybody says in their blurb that they made it in Xaos (or whatever), and so not all Xaos images will show up in such a search. Maybe it's worth remembering that what you put in your blurb (well, description!) will help someone find it in a search - not something I thought about myself, till now.
yes - the option to assign keywords to an image when it's uploaded would be good - could even include less specific search items too such as colour/style etc.
